The Alexandra Hospital is a private hospital in Cheadle, Greater Manchester, operated by BMI Healthcare. It was founded in 1981, and is the largest private hospital in the UK outside London.[1] Over 600 consultants work from the hospital, offering a range of services including Orthopaedics, Cardiology, Fertility treatment, an imaging suite including CT and MRI, seven operating theatres, and a 12 bed intensive care unit. The hospital has 171 beds, all in individual en-suite rooms.[2][3] Its executive director is Simon Shepherd.[4]
The hospital has treated a number of notable patients, including Russell Watson,[5] Fabrice Muamba,[6] and Alex Ferguson.[7] Matt Busby died in the hospital in 1994.[8]
The hospital's latest inspection by the Care Quality Commission found most aspects of care to be 'Good', but the safety of its intensive care facility was judged as 'Requires Improvement'.[9] In 2016, the hospital was criticised for employing an anaesthetics nurse who had forged her qualifications.[10][11]
